San Antonio actually has a lower crime rate than most cities. It's actually pretty good. But, like everywhere else, we have our problems.
Sorry to hear about your probs up there. I can't and won't comment on them seeing as though I haven't the foggiest idea what happened. Remember this though...Cameras do show you what happened..from ONE angle. Long story short. We watched a video of a chase which ended in dude crashing, trying to run (right by an officer), and it appears as though the officer shot him for NO reason. Really, this video was horrible evidence for the officer...we were all shocked when he just flat out shot him. Then, the instructor showed video two. Video two shows the guy running towards the officer and in this one, you can see bad guy pull out a gun bringing it up towards the officer. Then, you see officer shoot him. Plain as day. It is increadible what a camera CAN catch....and is also increadible how it can miss some of the most important parts.
We have our own problems on this force...just as with anywhere else. It'll happen everywhere. Out of my class, we lost one cause he's a moron and was trying to pick up a prostitute....which happened to be an undercover SAPD VICE officer!!! What a MORON...and he was still in his SAPD blues. This guy was not the brightest, I tell ya. Then, two more from my class decided they wanted to go out drinking...got drunk, and stole the bar patio chairs. County watched them, knew it was THEM, and management later tried to get back their chairs w/out getting police involved. The refused to cooperate and were terminated from the PD. Some people are just plain STUPID. I'll agree....there are a few out there who really make it look bad for the others...and it's a black eye everytime something like this happens. Oh, we just had two guys supposedly forcing a female prostitute to give them sexual favors... God, stuff like that makes me sick. What the hell goes through your mind to make you think that craps ok?????? Every year, it never fails, there will be a coiuple.
But, again, as far as going into specifics with your stories, I know nothing abou tthem. And, if I did, some will like my responses and some won't. We've done pretty big discussions over this in the past, so.
